The Stability of the Roommate Problem Revisited
Iñarra García, María Elena; Larrea Jaurrieta, María Concepción ; Molis Bañales, Elena (2007-09)
The lack of stability in some matching problems suggests that alternative solution concepts to the core might be applied to find predictable matchings. We propose the absorbing sets as a solution for the class of roommate ... -
On monotonic core allocations for coalitional games whith veto players
(2007-10)We characterize a monotonic core concept defined on the class of veto balanced games. We also discuss what restricted versions of monotonicity are possible when selecting core allocations. We introduce a family of monotonic ... -
